Chapter 10: I Want to Slap Him, But I’m a Little Afraid He’ll Lick My Hand

He forcefully pried her hand open, gritting his teeth:

“Sang Yunling, are you really not afraid of me killing you?”

Sang Nian belatedly realized, a drop of cold sweat slowly slid down her forehead:

“So you have two faces.”

Xie Chenzhou: “Heh.”

The weak Xie Chenzhou from the book, the one who could be stepped on by anyone, human or dog, had now crushed a demon beast’s skull with his bare hands.

Sang Nian didn’t know what went wrong.

She only knew that she was probably going to die.

Xie Chenzhou observed her rich expressions, he took a step towards her, he looked down at her, his smile didn’t reach his eyes:

“Why aren’t you talking?”

Sang Nian staggered back, sighing:

“I can’t beat you, what can I do if you want to kill me.”

He pressed closer, “So, you agree to me killing you?”

Sang Nian’s foot was already in the water, the smooth pebbles at the bottom of the water made her unable to stand steadily:

“Can I disagree?”

Xie Chenzhou continued to move forward, “No.”

Sang Nian said again, “Then can we go ashore? Otherwise, the body floating in the water will scare people who come fishing.”

Xie Chenzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, “No.”

Sang Nian was furious, “I’m going to die on the shore today.”

She pushed him hard.

Unexpectedly, he didn’t budge, she slipped and instantly lost her balance.

Just as she was about to fall, a hand suddenly grabbed her collar.

Sang Nian raised her eyes in alarm.

It was Xie Chenzhou.

Her heart just relaxed, the next moment, Xie Chenzhou curled his lips, he slowly released his fingers one by one.

With a “thump.”

Sang Nian fell face-first into the water.

Water splashed everywhere.

The water wasn’t deep, it only reached her waist, she flailed for a few seconds before calming down, she tilted her head back and glared fiercely at Xie Chenzhou.

He looked down at her, seeing her in such a sorry state, he seemed to see something amusing, he suddenly laughed inexplicably.

His voice was like broken ice hitting a wall, with a youthful clarity, it echoed far and wide on the water.

Sang Nian: “…”

Damn it.

She gritted her teeth, taking advantage of his distraction, she suddenly grabbed his ankle and pulled hard.

“Thump”

The waves that had just calmed down rose again.

Xie Chenzhou stood up from the water, he wiped the water off his face and looked at Sang Nian expressionlessly.

Sang Nian smiled at him, “Oh, why aren’t you laughing? Were you born without a sense of humor?”

He frowned, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her throat.

Sang Nian sighed, she patted his hand, helpless, “Don’t be silly, Xie Chenzhou, you can’t kill me.”

You think my defensive artifacts are just for show?

Xie Chenzhou still looked at her coldly.

As they were in a stalemate, a low, bubbly voice came from below:

“Beauty What game are you playing? Can I join in?”

Sang Nian: “?”

A string of bubbles rose from the water.

The next second, a man with a bruised nose and swollen face slowly surfaced with a very strange posture.

He was wearing a pink, tattered long robe, he had a startled, tail-wagging yellow catfish in his mouth, he used one hand to brush away his wet hair, he gave Xie Chenzhou and Sang Nian a charming smile:

“So you like to play in the water, then you must like handsome and dashing water demons like me.”

Xie Chenzhou: “…”

Sang Nian gasped, “Where did this water ghost come from?!”

“Watch your words.”

The man in pink, who was suspected of being a water ghost, threw away the fish that had slapped itself twice, he looked displeased:

“I am a genuine demon with noble royal blood, I’m not some shady ghost.”

Sang Nian grabbed Xie Chenzhou and ran ashore without looking back, “Let’s go, what if he finds a substitute?”

The man in pink said angrily, “I told you I’m not a ghost!”

After he finished speaking, he flew in front of them and blocked their way, he sneered:

“You think you can run away after I went through all the trouble to catch you? Dream on!”

Sang Nian was surprised, “So it’s you.”

“Humph, I’ve already shaken off all the pursuers.”

As he spoke, the man in pink stuck out his tongue and licked around his lips in slow motion, he winked at Xie Chenzhou, “No one will disturb our night of passion.”

Sang Nian couldn’t help but cover her eyes.

This scene was really… unbearable to look at.

The man in pink noticed her action, his smile became even more unrestrained and arrogant:

“Don’t worry, little beauty, brother will take care of him and then take care of you.”

“Or do you want to do it together?” He said excitedly, “That’s great, three people! I want to sleep in the middle of you!”

Sang Nian: “…”

I want to slap him, but I’m a little afraid he’ll lick my hand.

She said to Xie Chenzhou, “I kind of want to hit someone, how about you?”

Xie Chenzhou was expressionless, “He doesn’t count as a person.”

“I advise you to surrender, don’t make any unnecessary struggles.”

The man in pink took out a small knife from his chest, he licked the tip of the knife, he chuckled, “This knife of mine is poisonous, if I accidentally injure you…”

Before he could finish, his mouth twitched, his whole body started to convulse violently as if struck by lightning.

“Thump”

He fell down.

Sang Nian/Xie Chenzhou: “…”

He’s sick.

The other party’s limbs were still twitching, Sang Nian knew the importance of finishing him off, she immediately took out a three-meter-long spiked club from her storage bag.

The man in pink: “!!!”

He trembled, he turned over and tried to crawl away.

“You think I’ve just been doing radio calisthenics for the past half month?”

Sang Nian raised the spiked club, she grinned, “Next time? Plaything in the tent? 3?”

The next moment, a shrill scream ripped through the morning, startling countless birds.

The scream lasted for a long time, until a few shouts came from a distance.

“Stop!”

“Miss, please let go of that weak demon.”

“That’s right! Your actions are too cruel!”

Sang Nian turned her head to follow the sound, her gaze met with the group of people on the side of the road.

It was two girls and a young man, they were dressed in flowing clothes, they all had waist tags engraved with the name of the (Xiaoyao, Sect).

Look at their outstanding beauty, look at the male lead’s limited three parts aloofness, four parts detachment, eye-shaped fan chart.

Her intuition told Sang Nian that these were the male and female leads she had been waiting for.

But—

She looked down at the man in pink, who looked like a pig’s head, then she glanced at the spiked club in her hand, her gaze returned to the group of people with pained expressions, she felt that something was wrong.

Sure enough, the three of them “whoosh” flew in front of the man in pink, who was covered in blood, they stood guard against Sang Nian:

“Please stop beating this seemingly lewd demon!”

Sang Nian: “…”

Wake up, you’re supposed to be saving me! It’s me!!!
